1 Peter 5:8 - 'Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:'
*
The devil has a campaign against you going on at all times. His objective:*To stop you from hearing what God is saying about you. God has spoken a word*over your life, but the cares of this life, past experiences, and negative*influences will block you from hearing it. You must get into*position to hear what God has said about you. The enemy seems to already*know because he is usually attacking the very place in your life that God is*wanting to use. You must find that word. You must hear what God has said and*act on it. You must align yourself with the plan of God for you. The word*has already been spoken, and now it needs to be activated! But you must know*what it is before you can align yourself with it. That struggle for freedom,*that struggle for acceptance, that struggle for fulfillment is your*unconscious plight to get that word. But you must know first that God has*the word and you need to get closer to him to hear it so you can activate it*in your life.
*
It's not hard to hear God. The hard part is deleting the other voices in your life so that*you can hear him clearly. The television, the radio, the soaps, the movies, the*boyfriend/girlfriend, the newspaper columns, the stories, the novels, the friends,*the family, etc. are all voices! Many times we surround ourselves with*people, places, and things before we have learned to hear from God and that*is dangerous. You could have people in your life blocking you or voices in your*life detouring you. Take some time to find yourself! Not*by searching inside of you, but by seeking the will of God for your life. Get away from*everyone and everything for a period and silence all other voices in your life. You will*hear God speak to you and once you learn his voice, he will show you who you are*and why he made you. He will show you why the enemy is against you and how you*can walk in victory. Then, you will know who belongs in your life and who doesn't. At*that point you will know what voices to keep in your life and which ones to silence.*Take the time and do it! What in this world could be more important to find, than the Word*God has spoken over your life?
